Solve for X One Variable One Step Equations

Students in this class will learn to use algebra tiles to represent one variable one step equations. They will learn to go from the model to an equation and from the equation to a model in order to solve. This strategy helps students understand what happens when to the value of an equation when isolating the variable. We will start class with notes on algebra tiles and how to use them. Basic knowledge of integers is needed for this class. Once we have taken notes we will work on a few examples as a class and then proceed to our independent practice examples in which students will submit their answers privately in the chat in order for me to check for individual understanding. Students will end class with a set of notes to use at a later time.
